Description: This archive consists of 14 vintage sepia photographs capturing the flood of 1926 in Beardstown, Illinois. The images showcase various aspects of the disaster, including the fire department, community life, architecture, and automobilia. The photographs depict men and women navigating the flooded streets of Beardstown, and offer a unique glimpse into the city's history and domestic life during a difficult time. Some of the images are original snapshots, and some are one of a kind press photographs. The lot includes photographs of people, cars, and buildings, and offers a topographical overview of the city during the flood. These rare and unique photographs are a valuable addition to any collection of Americana, community life, and disasters. COMPLIMENTARY WORTHWHILE PHOTO INCLUDED with each order. All of my photos, slides and negatives are original and one of a kind. I am always searching for unusual photos so check my other listings as I add new ones daily. The condition of each photo varies and is shown clearly, front and back, in the listing photos. Shipping can be unreliable at times with the postal service but I ship out within a day of payment and all photos/negatives/slides are shipped in a protective hard sleeve. Most purchases under $10 do not include tracking. I combine shipping on US multiple purchases. You can either complete your purchase and I’ll refund the shipping difference or wait for me to send you an invoice with adjusted shipping before you pay. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
